Alessandro De Blasis c1e616c6cd libghostty: add ghostty_free for cross-runtime memory safety

On Windows, Zig's built-in libc and MSVC's CRT maintain separate
heaps, so calling free() on memory allocated by the library causes
undefined behavior. Add ghostty_free() that frees through the same
allocator that performed the allocation, making it safe on all
platforms.

Update format_alloc docs and all examples to use ghostty_free()
instead of free().

README.md

Example: `ghostty-vt` Terminal Formatter

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt terminal and formatter APIs to create a terminal, write VT-encoded content into it, and format the screen contents as plain text.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
